Dilly Beans Challenge - Winter Wonderland

Happy Friday friends!! Today I'm bringing you a new challenge over at the Dilly Beans Challenge blog. The theme this week is Winter Wonderland! I do hope you can come play with us! My creation today uses such a sweet new image - #329 - Top Hat Snowman.

I've colored him with my Copics and paper pieced his scarf as well as the band on his top hat. I then coated his hat and carrot nose with Glossy Accents and let it dry overnight.

I used all white embellishments starting with sparkly white cardstock for my base. Then another layer of the same cardstock popped up on foam adhesive. I used white, sparkly felt, self-adhesive stickers to create the background. I placed the snowflakes all over my cardstock hanging off the edges in order to get the placement just right. I trimmed off any excess to keep it looking crisp. I then used a ledger card cut with my Wonky Scallop Die-namic as well as a bundling of die cut snowflakes held together with a white brad as my accents. I used a sentiment from MFT stamped in Momento Ink and cut out with my SU! word punch.

I'm a stay at home wife to my darling hubby of almost 19 years. I'm also a homeschooling Mum of 3 small, beautiful, delicious and often sticky children and a gorgeous and sweet pitbull named Katie.
I've always loved art, crafting and photography. I find time every single day to work one or all of these into the mere 24 hours that we have daily. I find it fulfills my soul, my mind and keeps my "zen" in check.
